 Clemens says Pettitte 'misremembered' him; McNamee grilled - MLB
WASHINGTON -- Under oath and sometimes blistering questioning, Roger Clemens stuck to his story Wednesday. So did his chief accuser and former personal trainer, Brian McNamee. And after a 4½-hour hearing, Congress settled for a draw in the he-said, he-said between the two men over whether the seven-time Cy Young Award winner used performance-enhancing drugs. Ultimately, the matter may be ... [link]

Clemens Currently Lying Through Teeth To Whole World

... thinks Pettitte is honest. Yes. They told him Pettitte said a bunch of stuff about Roger and HGH, and asked if he's still honest. "I believe Andy Pettitte misheard...." Now he's saying, "I think Andy misremembered." Here's a new story saying Pettitte did more HGH than he originally said. (I, and many others, predicted that one. If you admit to doing something illegal after you're caught "only twice," think about how many times that means you really did it.) Here's McNamee saying he injected Clemens more than he previously said. Right now, Rep. ...

Clemens: "I'm Guilty"

... positive. Clemens' argument that the Mitchell report is wrong and he did not use PEDs: His father died and his mother raised him. He ran 2 miles home to his condo when he was in high school because he didn't have a car. His innocent sister in law murdered over drugs. He promises to be honest and genuine to every person he can be. This is not as entertaining as the Simpsons version. Mr. Impartial, Rep. Dan Burton, pictured above, had this to say: "This is really disgusting. You're here as a sworn witness. You're ...

Clemens

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3243636 The last part of the story may be where it all starts to unwind for Clemens. His wife submits an affidavit stating that she used HGH "once" and without Clemens' knowledge. If she is telling the truth (unlikely but possible) then WHY would Clemens tell Andy Petitte in 2005 that Petitte had mistaken Roger Clemens' HGH usage with Mrs. Clemens' HGH usage??? So, given Mrs. C's statement and Petitte's recollection, here are the possible results: 1) Mrs. C is a drug user and a liar. She took ...

... mispronouncing the last name of his chief accuser, Brian McNamee, Clemens rambled and stumbled during his early remarks on Capitol Hill. Clemens' reputation and legacy were on the line, and there was the possibility that criminal charges could follow after the seven-time Cy Young Award winner testified. "I have never taken steroids or HGH," Clemens said under oath, his voice rising. "No matter what we discuss here today, I am never going to have my name restored." For many, his denials rang hollow... READ ALL OF THE DEPOSITIONS ONLINE ...
